by AF0526 c5 — May 28, 2010—NICE Systems has announced that the Port of Los Angeles has begun implementation of NICE Situator, an open platform situation management solution.
The NICE solution will provide an integrated command and control platform to fuse, correlate and analyze information across disparate security systems, says NICE. In addition, it will enhance inter-agency collaboration and response capabilities for the Port of Los Angeles, according to NICE.
The Port of Los Angeles is the busiest container port in the United States and one of the largest cruise ship centers on the U.S. West Coast, transporting more than 850,000 passengers annually.
NICE Situator will help the Port improve its situational awareness and incident response capabilities to ensure the safety and security of passengers and continuity of operations, by fusing siloed systems into an integrated command and control platform, and by correlating and analyzing these different sources of security information.
Through its integration capabilities, NICE Situator will also seamlessly connect the Port of Los Angeles with external agencies to enhance the Port’s ability to collaborate, share information and respond to incidents. In addition, the Port will use Situator to automate its response plans for managing incidents, ensuring that standard operating procedures and best practices are always followed.
All activity that is managed through NICE Situator is also logged by the system, so Port officials will be able to see what actions were taken, under what conditions, when and by whom.
NICE Situator is a situation management software platform that enables automatic situation planning, response and analysis in real time, as well as thorough post incident reviews and investigations. NICE Situator integrates to a wide array of sensors and security systems, analyzing and correlating information to help organizations connect the dots and improve situational awareness, incident response and decision-making.
NICE Situator’s generic gateways and open architecture make it possible to integrate to virtually any existing or future security device, system, or data source.
